Subluminal Messages

A science blog for all scientists, even amateurs.

New shoes and no keys

Today is day 1 of our grand tour of the Pacific Northwest. We are on our layover at Minneapolis/St. Paul. It’s odd to not have my keys with me, but we got a ride to the airport, we’re getting a ride back, and the only thing to do with them is lose them.

About Subluminal

Science is, above anything else, a human endeavor. The best of science writing shows this, and the humanity of the authors and subjects shows through. Too much of science that is learned in the classroom sets itself apart from this. Brilliant jokesters are given a veneer of respectability so that we aren’t biased by their common decency. This is good, but it also takes the passion out of one of the most passionate endeavors we can conduct. So, this blog is going to be as well-written as we can manage, express the humanity and energy that exists in the fields that we will talk about, and try to be entertaining and engaging. We will talk about good science (with a view to promoting it) and bad science (with a view to improving it).

Let’s see how this goes.
